Blog number 2 lets go! PLAYA DEL CARMEN Actually better than we first thought, the streets are lined with mexicans selling you the world¨s garbage : hats/slippers/sweets and fake mayan crap. But the nightlife was apart from the shitty Dansen Bij Jansen music pretty good, we met some beautiful mexican girls who i later met again before i left Playa. The beach in Playa was nothing short of AMAZING : beautiful white sandy beaches, the best weather ever and crystal clear sea. Sitting at the beach at night was also very relaxing. We made the trendy beachclub fusion our place to be for relaxing, wich served us some live reaggea and fireshows at night. And of course we met some amazing people there that gave us a truly memorable last night. COZUMEL Island half an hour ... read more

Well, I'm about to leave “Bikini Bootcamp” – a fabulous fitness/yoga ‘retreat’ in Tulum, Mexico. It’s set on a gorgeous beach, so each morning has begun with Yoga Sun Salutations, an hour long walk along the beach ... or both ... and all before breakfast! I've really enjoyed the experience ... with a bunch of great women (all Americans except for one Brit). Healthy food, exercise, a couple of massages, plus time for relaxation in a beautiful place ... after only a few days I felt much healthier. However, I must admit my body is slightly in shock after 3-4 hours of exercise a day ... and that's skipping a class each day! Usually the daily schedule incorporates 1-2 hours of yoga, some cardio activity and maybe a dance class or boxing etc. Plus some short ... read more

Hi, so I just got back from a wonderful trip. I try to avoid these kinds of trips as much as possible because they tend to eat big parts of your budget if you do stuff like this regularly, but I figured one every once in a while is ok and helps to appreciate different places. I picked this one because the night before I met the guide in the little bar of the hotel, the hotel-boss-lady, who I was first talking to, introduced me to him. He seemed like a really cool dude and explained in detail what we would be doing. So the trip was … a snorkel trip :P yeye I know what your thinking 'o wow gee, a snorkel trip, that must have been “fun”' well it actually really was lots of ... read more

Nach zwei Monaten Mexikoreise haben wir nun den Karibikstrand im Staat Quintana Roo erreicht. Es war zwar noch eine ganz schöne Sucherei, bis wir zum von Alex, dem Franzosen aus Catamaco, empfohlenen Strand an der Boca Paila Road gekommen sind. Aber letztendlich haben wir es nach einigem Hin- und Hertouren geschafft. Ein türkisblaues Meer und fast weißer Sandstrand sind der Lohn. Damit wir nicht, wie viele Andere im Sand feststeckten, sind wir vorsorglich auf einen Palmwedel aufgefahren. So kommen wir mit Sicherheit auch wieder hinaus. Franzosen aus Mulhouse im Elsaß haben sich auch schon mit Wohnmobil einquartiert. Klar – der erste Gang war ins Meer. Hans machte es Spaß, unter den Wellenbrechern hindurchzutauchen. Ich wählte die sanftere Art und ließ mich vom schäumenden Meer umspülen. Am nächsten Tag sind wir erst mal zum eigentlichen Pflichtprogramm „Ruinen ... read more
